Search by Name

Most searches on Entelo tend to be for skills ("Ruby on Rails," "Java"), positions ("VP Marketing"), or both ("senior developer PHP"). But a significant minority are a name, where the searcher is looking for a specific person ("Larry Page").

Name searchSuch queries usually turn up the person in question, but sometimes the results can be unexpected. For instance, that Larry Page search returns a lot of people mentioning web pages, or the Apple word processor "Pages," along with all the Larry Pages of the world.

To improve that, we've added a new option to the filtering/advanced search menu on Entelo. Just click the "Search by name" checkbox, enter the name of the person you're interested in, and the results will be optimized accordingly. You'll be able to easily find the CEO of Google, the Sharepoint expert in Louisville, the Verizon sales rep in Atlanta, or any of the other dozen Larry Pages on Entelo.
